Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. Since now is the time many schools in the U.S. are having their
graduations, the theme for this week is graduation.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com

A graduation poem about the wish to remember the moment of
graduation:
Give me just this moment, please, forever.
Replicate it for me on demand.
As I flow unceasingly downriver,
Do not make me leave this day behind.
Understand my bittersweet confusion
As graduation crystallizes youth,
Tallying my treasures with precision,
Illuminating well a wistful truth.
Out of all my moments pluck this one,
Nor let me lose its grace when it is gone.
